FabAlley launches new digital Campaign #IMeanBusiness
MUMBAI: Homegrown western wear brand, FabAlley- that is by and for modern millennial multitasking women has launched a Fab new campaign to empower women in leadership. The digital campaign, #IMeanBusiness aims to move beyond soft talk and bring out the real picture of being a woman in position – what it takes to come out of one’s comfort zone, be responsible for that move, and owning the ups-and-downs of being in-charge.
In the campaign, FabAlley has partnered with four self-standing women from diverse fields to talk about their professional journeys and what it takes to build and own their narratives every single day. Having ventured into entrepreneurship alongside her vocal art, Tanya Nambiar, singer & voice-over artist talks about how women don’t have to restrict themselves to one profession and dream. Upasna Dash, founder of Jajabor Brand Consultancy, talks about how research and preparation are the only keys to unlocking success and acing work. For Garima Avtar, professional rally car racer, it is about identifying your truest passion and, for Megha Agarwal, Corporate Chef, Summerhouse Café and Auro Kitchen & Bar, knowing that you must get work done, no matter what the odds, is what spells leadership. The campaign is about real talk with women who walk the talk, inspiring audiences to believe in their own journeys and proclaim that they mean business.
Commenting on the campaign, FabAlley Co-Founders Tanvi Malik and Shivani Poddar share, “Being entrepreneurs who started from scratch, we know and believe that being a boss woman goes beyond honeyed “women-can-run-the-show” conversations. It is not just making that one move, it is about owning that move and the journey that follows, keeping yourself on top of the game while battling bad days. This campaign is an attempt to bring some realness to the idea of being a woman with power, and through our conversation with these feisty boss ladies, we endeavour to inspire other women to take on their dreams.”
The campaign also launches the brand’s power-dressing line that aims to empower women with its functional and fashionable styles. Dismissing the strict, corporate connotations, FabAlley’s power suiting line this year leads the way for versatility with stylish separates that can be worn in an endless amount of ways. Think belted blazers that add form to a boxy look, 80’s inspired flared trousers and culottes to work from boardroom to bar, and tuxedo dresses that are fierce yet feminine. The capsule collection is priced between Rs.1,500-Rs.3,400.

KPMG names Gary Wingrove as global chairman and CEO from October
Record Gmada bids signal rising demand as Rs 1,000 crore bet reshapes Tricity skyline
MUMBAI: KPMG has chosen continuity with a forward tilt. The firm has announced that Gary Wingrove will take over as global chairman and CEO of KPMG International, beginning a four year term from 1 October 2026. Currently serving as global chief operating officer, Wingrove steps into the top role after being nominated by the global board and elected by the global council.
A KPMG veteran with over 25 years at the firm, Wingrove has been closely involved in shaping its recent trajectory. As global COO, he has helped drive the firm’s Collective Strategy, focusing on operational integration, global investments and the steady expansion of the KPMG Delivery Network. He has also been at the forefront of KPMG’s digital push, including the rollout of AI enabled solutions across its global operations.
Before his global role, Wingrove served as CEO of KPMG Australia for nearly a decade, where he led a period of strong growth, almost doubling revenue, profitability and headcount while steering a cultural reset.
He succeeds Bill Thomas, who has led KPMG since 2017 and will work alongside Wingrove over the next six months to ensure a smooth transition.
Thomas leaves behind a firm that looks markedly different from when he took charge. Under his leadership, KPMG’s global revenues have risen by 55 per cent, and its workforce has expanded to more than 276,000 people. He also unified the network of member firms under the Collective Strategy, aligning priorities and strengthening governance.
His tenure saw heavy investment in technology and partnerships, with alliances spanning Microsoft, Google Cloud, SAP, Oracle and ServiceNow. These collaborations, along with platforms like KPMG Clara, have helped the firm scale its AI-led offerings and sharpen its competitive edge.
Beyond growth, Thomas also pushed improvements in audit quality and sustainability. Initiatives such as a multiyear global sustainability strategy and the Our Impact Plan have aimed to embed long term thinking into the firm’s operations and client services.
For Wingrove, the brief is clear but evolving. He has signalled a focus on agility, deep expertise and technology driven solutions as clients navigate an increasingly complex business landscape. He also emphasised KPMG’s identity as a people first organisation, supported by technology and unified through its global network.
The timing of the leadership change comes as KPMG continues to grow, reporting a 5.1 per cent rise in global revenue in FY25, with gains across tax and legal, audit and advisory services. Growth was recorded across all regions, despite a challenging macro environment.
As Wingrove prepares to take charge, the firm appears set on a familiar path with a sharper digital edge. Same playbook, perhaps, but with a renewed focus on speed, scale and smarter solutions.
